NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D. C. 20555 OCT 2 71973 DOCKET N0.:
70-1113 APPLICANT:
General Electric Company FACILITY:
Wilmington, North Carolina, Fuel Fabrication Facility l
SUBJECT:
SAFETY REVIEW 0F AMENDMENT TO DELETE THE REQUIREMENT FOR A SEPARATE TRAINING PRC3 RAM FOR EACH WORKER CATEGORY, PC N0. 77070A REVIEWER:
Robert L. Stevenson
Background
By application dated April 18, 1977, General Electric Company (GE) requested deletion of the requirement for a separate nuclear criticality safety training program for each working position in the fuel manu-facturing operation.
This requirement is stated on page A-24 of Appendix A, which is incorporated into the license by reference in Condition 9 of SNM-1097.
The specific wording c# page 24 which GE desires to revise reads, "A separate training program will be estab-lished for each type of working position, such as foreman, supervisor.."
In the amendment request, GE notes that (a) parts or all of a training program for one such position may be identical to that for another position, and (b) the training programs are not fixed in scope or emphasis but are changed in accordance with needs.
The complete revised sentence would read, " Training programs will be established for each type of working position, such as foreman, supervisor, equipment operator, radiation protection technician, etc., commensurate with criticality safety responsibilities associated with each such position."
Discussion The proposed revised wording would not change the essential intent of the sentence to be revised, which was to require that the nuclear criticality safety training program be appropriate to the criticality safety responsibility of each position. The purpose of the proposed change is to avoid a potential for a " technical noncompliance."
The amendment application was discussed in a telecon on October 25, 1978, with Mr. J. B. Kahle, principal inspector (Region 11, I&E) for the GE plant.
Mr. Xahle saw no objections to the issuance of the requested amendment.

Conclusion The revised wording concerning the criticality safety training program clarifies the intent of the license without deleting any important requirement. Approval of the authorizing amendment is recommended.
